Hey Guest, welcome back to DLP

As you can see, we've changed our look. We've migrated from vBulletin to the Xenforo forum system. There may be issues or missing functionality, if you find anything or have feedback, please check out the new Xenforo Migration Feedback forum.

Our dark ("Dark Lord Potter") theme is under heavy development. We also have a light ("Light Lord Potter") theme for those happier with a light background and darker text.

Hey Guest! Are you any good at cooking? Got a favourite recipe that you love to cook or bring out to impress that special someone? Why not share it! A new forum called The Burrow has opened and it's all about homemaking!

I like the concept for this film - showing Oz in his youth and using his talents as a con artist and an illusionist to defeat the witches who have a real magic at their disposal.

It has a good cast - James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Ted Raimi (what? I like him) and cameo from Bruce Campbell. Though I'm still not sure about Franco playing someone who should be a very charismatic person.

Also, the idea of changing the aspect ratio and colors between worlds seems interesting.

I think Franco will do the role justice. I've been waiting for this movie for awhile, since I heard about it a year ago, and seeing the first promo I'm still hyped about it. Hopefully the movie lives up to expectations.

On top of the general awesomeness that is the trailer, I really love it when the music kicks in. I can't find the track, so I think it's part of the original soundtrack for the movie. Can't wait for more to be released.

Some opening parts reminds me strongly of Harry Potter's soundtrack (from 6th movie). And the rest is classic Elfman that I recognized without even knowing he was doing the soundtrack for this film.

Heh, I had just gotten around to plowing through the last half of Son of a Witch last night. I've gotten each of the sequels to Wicked as they came out, but, these days, it's so hard to drag my ass away from the computer to read a real book...

Two more to go.

As for the trailer: I guess they're trying to go a step beyond the old movie's transition from sepia to color, by not only changing from black & white to color, but 4:3 to widescreen. :awesome

I do like the over-saturation of the colors.

That scene with all the teapot houses reminded me of a section of Alice: The Madness Returns.

Who knows, maybe we'll see some halfway decent HP/Oz crossovers come out of this. Lord knows no one ever made a decent Wicked crossover, despite the abundance of material they were given.

I guess the songfic regurgitators were too busy using their heads to plumb the depths of the musical's ass to notice the depth of the books.

"Let me tell you a little something about love, Dennis. It has a voracious appetite. It eats everything- Friendship. Family. It kills me how much it eats. But I'll tell you something else. You feed it right, and it can be a beautiful thing, and that's what we have." - Arnie Cunningham, Christine

Saw this tonight, and it was...ok. I wouldn't say it was great, but it wasn't particularly bad. The plot was incredibly obvious, some of the characterisation was severely lacking, and the CGI was weirdly mixed, but there was a fair bit of fun to be had. The finale was pleasingly inventive, especially.
